Heidi Huber started her career with the sink or swim theory. Luckily she knows the freestyle which has taken her from the Chicago stage to behind the scenes in Los Angeles where she currently continues to tap as The Whole 9’s Chief of Everything Else.
I own two suits. One I’ve worn to basically every business meeting we’ve ever had, sometimes changing out the blouse. The other is a suit that looks like it’s from the 1940’s — it’s fabulous but more something one would wear to an “event.”
Since the world is so much more casual that it used to [...]
One of my sisters has a terrible sense of direction. She uses a GPS daily and she’s lived in the same city for like 20 years. I find GPS’ to be maddening and would rather just run directions. I love maps and like to see where I’m headed before I actually hit the road.
Are you [...]
I recently lost a brother-in-law, my sister’s husband. He was an intellect in the truest fashion. He collected degrees the way some people collect stamps. He was also feline in ways as he seemed to live nine lives. He was a minister in somewhere like Africa, a published novelist & produced playwright, but he was [...]
Allison Arbuthnot serves up some pretty saucy stories in her blog In Vitis Veritas. They read like a page-turner of a short story. I delight in reading her latest installment and get a kick out of her style.
What’s the best short story you’ve read lately?
Sounds like an ad for your local news station — “News you can trust.”
Do you watch, listen or read your news? Do you prefer a newer entity like The Huffington Post or do you stand by old-school stalwart The Washington Post? Are you a New York Times devotee or a Los Angeles Times fan? CNN [...]
Had it not been for my frugal, savings account-loving husband, we would still be renting our little place in Hollywood. See, I came to the table with pretty much nothing financially. We could have made due with three people and three animals in the apartment, still having to walk the dog 3-4 times a day, [...]
Just watched a video on USA Today with Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann speaking about the newly formed political organization, The Tea Party. 24 members of Congress attended the first Tea Party caucus, and they claim to be listening to what people are concerned about, that they are “not the mouthpiece, but the earpiece” of mainstream [...]
I had a nylon slip and loved the way it felt between my thumb and index finger. My brother liked terry cloth. Don’t ask me why. I also slept with a teddy bear and a raggedy Ann doll. It was a full bed.
I probably slept with Teddy and Ragged for too long but I turned [...]
I just noticed that it’s Friday, the 13th. I don’t think that’s happened in a while or if it has, I hadn’t noticed.
I’ve never had a string of unfortunate things happen to me on this oft dreaded day — nothing near what those poor camp counselors experienced at Camp Crystal Lake (did I just hear [...]
I have to say I read the answers to yesterday’s “hoarders” QOD with ghastly amusement. I love that many sited family members as there was a time I would have said the same about my folks!
Even with the most minimalists, there is usually at least one thing you haven’t been able to part with. Be [...]
